Official AoC Forums

Request for the EULA and ToS prelaunch

How would you like to get a look at the End User License Agreement (EULA) for Age of Conan before the game launches? Well some people would. The EULA is a digital contract you must agree to before you are allowed to play the game. Often times these include agreeing that the in-game items belong to and are also the intellectual property of the game developer in question. They also contain several other bits of information aimed at protecting the developers rights as well as that of the players in many ways, but some people want to view the EULA before the game launches to ensure the digital contract is something they wish to agree to. Are you one of them? Let it be known in this thread.

Old time EQ players

Can you say nostalgia? This thread is for old school Everquest (EQ) vets everywhere. If you are an old school EQ vet and want to engage in some comparative discussion with like-minded people about Age of Conan and if it will bring that same enjoyment to the table that Everquest did, then this is the thread for you.

Last Minute Plea For A Role-Playing Server (RP-PVE)

Guess who makes a return this week with a renewed vengeance of discussion. If you said the give us an RP-PvE server thread of yore, then you guessed right. I think it has been argued to death and that horse has been beaten into the ground. In my opinion there is plenty of demand for it as we can see here, here, and here. Though I tend to agree with the RP-PvE crowd it has become one of the hottest topics on the official AoC forums as well as here at Ten Ton Hammer. In fact, we are about to kick off our Ten Ton Hammer Forum Brawl. This server brawl will pit two forum goers at odds with each other in a private forum to debate a selected topic. This week's topic as you might have guessed by now is RP-PvE vs RP-PvP. If you have what it takes Uncle Machail wants you. Sign up now to participate in this epic battle of witty comebacks and forum trolling humor. The final battle will be placed into a special feature here at Ten Ton hammer and given a play by play of the action by your three favorite moderators, Machail, Martuk, and JoBildo. Got what it takes? Read this and sign up here.

AoC & Tentonhammer.com

This thread is a little older but some of you guys have seen fit to bring it back again and I wanted to a moment to thank each one of our loyal readers and forum surfers. One great thing about Ten Ton hammer is that we are independent of influence and each one of our community managers is a gamer and each one plays a game they like. Thus were are able to give an objective view at the game when we write articles and such. We are able to write so passionately about games because we ourselves play them. We are a site of MMOG addicts. So thanks be to all of you that have posted in this thread and supported us over the years. We will assuredly keep busting our butts to bring you the best news and information relating to our favorite MMOGs. Now, we have a bit of friendly rivalry with some of the other site games here at ten Ton Hammer on who can deliver the best forum discussion in the greatest quantity. Not calling any names here ~CoughWorldofWarcraftCoughWarhammerCough~ but feel free to join us as we attempt to beat those rival posters into the ground here at AoC Ten Ton hammer. For more information, see Uncle Machail's post here.
